Rutgers Prep Kicks Off Fall 2025 Season as the Nation’s Top Team

Bridgewater, New Jersey is buzzing with excitement as the Fall 2025 soccer season approaches. The air is thick with anticipation, especially for the talented girls at Rutgers Preparatory School, who are officially ranked No. 1 in the country according to the latest United Soccer Coaches’ Girls High School National Preseason Poll. After a phenomenal 2024 season—where they, notably, went undefeated—the team is ready to defend their top spot.

Rival Teams Waiting in the Wings

But Rutgers Prep isn’t the only powerhouse heading into the new season. Taking their spot right behind them is Lone Peak High School from Utah, which also had an impressive run in 2024, matching Rutgers’ undefeated record. These two teams are certainly the ones to watch, but they won’t be alone on the pursuit for glory. The talented girls at Houston High School from Tennessee have grabbed a solid No. 3 ranking, similarly finishing the previous season without a loss.

Opening strong right behind them is Ward Melville High School from New York at No. 4, followed closely by Noblesville High School from Indiana in the fifth position. With these ranks set, it’s clear the competition is fierce and fans are gearing up for an exciting season ahead.

Looking Ahead to the 2024-2025 Season

This year, a total of 120 top players were handpicked to shine this season, coming directly from the ECNL Girls Finals and the 2025 GA Finals. These athletes are not just stepping onto the field for fun; they’re equipped with skill, determination, and dreams of making their schools proud, and perhaps even attracting the attention of college recruiters.

Speaking of recruitment, the SoccerWire platform is stepping up its game by launching a college soccer recruiting search engine. With over 1 million views per year, this tool is set to connect aspiring athletes with colleges looking for fresh talent. It’s expected to be a great resource for girls hoping to advance their soccer careers while balancing their education.
